East Baton Rouge Parish Prison

In addition to regular law enforcement duties and civil duties, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office is responsible for staffing and running the Parish Prison. The East Baton Rouge Parish Prison houses all of the inmates who have been booked into jail, are awaiting trial, or have been sentenced within the 19th Judicial District jurisdiction. Effective Tuesday, August 3, 2021, two free calls per week to family for inmates has been reinstated. Also we will end the practice of recording actual temps of all who enter the parish prison and only record those who have high temperatures. Also we are clarifying that while visitation by anyone other than EBRSO, medical and emergency workers, and arresting agencies will be suspended, we are still allowing, as our staffing allows us to do, non-contact visitation to those who are interviewing or accessing for release preparation purposes. Approved visitation is suspended until further notice. Two free phone calls per week per inmate are being provided. Non-contact attorney visitation is also suspended until further notice. Attorneys can contact https://icscorrections.com/facilities/la_batonrouge.html for more information regarding inmate calls. These calls are not free at this time; however, they are privileged and unrecorded. All messages for inmates to contact their attorneys can be sent to [email protected] for delivery to inmates. Paperwork requiring an inmate’s signature may be sent via mail or can be forwarded to [email protected] and [email protected] for handling. Staff on site can serve as witnesses to inmate’s signing documents. Agencies requesting non-contact interviews with inmates must make their requests in writing to [email protected] for handling.
